The Totally Improvised Musical is back from our summer break with THREE shows in the coming weeks! We're delighted to be bringing the show back to Chorley Theatre and The Peer Hat, Manchester for the opening - and closing! - night of more totally unscripted, completely unmissable comedy musicals.
The songs, the story and the music are all inspired by your suggestions. Previous shows have featured such weird and wonderful misadventures as a prison break where no one wanted to escape, a battle between hobbits and greedy land developers, love and rivalry in the world of business catering and a heart warming tale of tube drivers who dream of being west-end stars!
We're back at Chorley Theatre on Friday 30th of September and then we have two shows at The Peer Hat in October (Wednesday 5th and Tuesday 25th). Join us for a night of song and laughter! Visit The Totally Improvised Musical page to find out more!
Fed up of the same old pantos every year? Then get ready for the return of the ComedySportz Improvised Pantomime! Heroes, villains, songs and silliness are guaranteed as the gang improvise a brand new pantomime using only your suggestions and a sprinkling of fairy dust.
There will be songs, silliness, gags and games in this loving pastiche of panto characters and tropes. You'll cast the players in their roles and there will be a ref-fairy on hand to get suggestions from the audience. It's unscripted, unpredictable and unlike any other panto you'll see this December.
Join us for an alternative festive family treat or leave the kids at home for our Adults Only show on 17th December. All shows will be at our regular venue, Waterside Arts in Sale.

Join us as we go from suggestion to sensation with our Totally Improvised Musical show coming to Manchester this Spring! If you like musicals, this is the show for you. If you like comedy, this is also the show for you!
Every show is opening night as our team of top improvisers compose a brand new musical from your suggestions - hitting all the right notes in any order they like!
Shows will be performed at The Peer Hat (14-16 Faraday Street, M1 1BE Manchester) on 24th March, 28th April and 19th May 2020. Shows start at 7.30pm and will run for 1h15m (approx). Tickets cost just £5 and will be available on the door.
Improvised Musical Workshop in Lancaster
We're also running a one day Musical Improv workshop in Lancaster on Saturday 29th February! This session will look at techniques for improvising showstopping tunes driven by characters, whilst juggling rhyme, melody and narrative. The workshop is open to all skill levels and singing talents - however some general experience of improv skills is suggested for those taking part. Book a space now or drop us an email if you have any questions about the workshop.
Our Improvised Panto returns this December for more festive fun the whole family can enjoy! There will be heroes, villains, romance and songs aplenty all inspired by your suggestions. There will be plenty of opportunities to join in the fun - oh yes there will - in this highly interactive show full of gags and games... and every villain is going to need a henchman!
Our improvised pantomimes are a loving pastiche of traditional panto tropes and characters and alternative to the same old stories. Players don't know which character they're going to be play or what the story is going to be about as our fairy god-referees take suggestions from the audience. We will have live musical accompaniment for this year's shows as well which is something we've wanted for a while!
Book Now!
We'll be bringing our improvised panto to The Palace in Longridge for the first time this December. It'll be a night of laughter and mirth as players craft a pantomime adventure with only your suggestions and a sprinkling of fairy dust to guide them. We can't wait to bring the show to the Palace (eat your heart out Cinderella) next month.
This is our third year of doing the pantomimes and they've been a sell-out success at Waterside Arts in previous years. We're delighted to be back this year with four more shows so be sure to book your tickets now!
Finally, we'll also be performing an Adults Only version of the Improvised Pantomime on Saturday 7th December at The Kings Arms, Salford. This will replace our regular Improv Mullet Show. The show will start at 7.30pm!
These are currently our last booked in shows for 2019 so you won't want to miss them! We'll then return in January with new workshops and our New Year, New Games special at Waterside Arts!
